Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

This is like defecating directly on a tiger's head.

The Japanese army used poison gas very frequently because they were the only ones who possessed it; Yamashiro did not have such a thing.

After capturing weapons on the battlefield and purchasing ammunition from the 4th Division, the Japanese army, knowing that Yamashiro was also equipped with poison gas, tacitly refrained from using poison gas on the battlefield.

But who would have thought that so little time had passed before these people forgot about it, and that they were even releasing poison gas right in front of the person in question?

This guy is asking for death.

Takeshita Shun looked at the scattered poison gas bombs, then glanced at the Japanese troops gathering in the distance, preparing to take advantage of the situation, and laughed, "Perhaps in their eyes, our Independent Brigade has no hope of breaking through this time."

Since they believed the Independent Brigade had no hope of breaking out, why not use poison gas?

In two days, a division plus a brigade failed to break through the Independent Brigade's defensive positions.

For the Japanese army, they couldn't see how formidable the Independent Brigade's defensive fortifications were; what they saw was the incompetence of the Japanese forces, the incompetence of their commanders, and the incompetence of their soldiers.

If they fail to capture the Independent Brigade's position, they will have to shoulder responsibilities that are not theirs.

This isn't something he chooses to think; it's simply the truth.

This is the characteristic of the Japanese soldiers; in their eyes, they only see their own incompetence and do not consider the defensive capabilities of the mountain city.

Moreover, the mountain city has been weak for so many years, how could they possibly care about the fortifications here?

"Good, very good indeed." Zhou Weiguo chuckled coldly, glancing at everyone present. "I actually hope that this time we have no hope of breaking through, otherwise..."

hum...

Just you wait and see.

Snapped……

Rest room for Japanese observers on the second floor of the Berlin American Garrison Headquarters in southeastern Canada.

Okamura Neiji couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his hand on the table.

Yamadajima and Nanzo Yunko glanced at him, but neither of them said anything; they simply continued with their own tasks.

They've been here for a long time now. The southern part of the empire hasn't allowed them to go back, and the deployment here is complete. What they do every day is just idly passing the time in this small office.

"That bastard Tani Hisao!" Okamura Neiji cursed.

General Headquarters appointed him commander of the 14th Division, and he didn't complain. The 14th Division dealt with the Independent Brigade in a brutal manner, and he still didn't complain. But this time, he did. He criticized the retro-era tycoon for being stupid and unaware of his own foolishness, and for dragging down a large number of people in Tokyo.

"He is indeed a bastard. The use of poison gas by our empire was originally stopped because of the large-scale retaliatory action by the Independent Brigade. Now, he is using poison gas in front of the main party. This is a provocation against the Independent Brigade and Zhou Weiguo. The peace in Tokyo probably won't last much longer."

Yamadajima saw all of this very clearly.

If it weren't for the poison gas bombs, even if Zhou Weiguo wiped out all his men, he wouldn't have anything to say. But now that poison gas bombs have been used, it's a violation of his bottom line.

“That’s really stupid.” Nanzo Yunko echoed Yamadajima’s words and then said, “My brother-in-law’s ability to possess poison gas bombs means that every single person in his unit is equipped with a gas mask.”

Poison gas was effective against other units in the mountain city, but it was useless against him. To take him down, the only option was to use conventional offensive methods. However, according to the information obtained, Tani Hisao had failed to break through his position in two days of attacks, which is why he resorted to poison gas.

However, things didn't go as planned. After the gas attack ended, he intended to stroll over and reap the benefits, but instead, he was soundly defeated, losing nearly a whole battalion on the spot. Adding to the losses from the two days of attacks, the number of troops lost was estimated to be equivalent to a regiment.

This was still the result of the battle of the Independent Brigade. According to reports, the forces under the Fifth War Zone also began to launch attacks on the North China Front Army from all directions.

The Tang army, which had fled far away, also began to actively advance northward.

Encirclement, counter-encirclement, besieging a point to attack reinforcements, besieging a point to attack reinforcements again, and then blocking again—the entire Fifth War Zone is currently in complete chaos.

In this battle, it seems that the Empire has the upper hand, but in terms of casualties, the Empire is gradually increasing.

Sometimes, minor losses may seem insignificant, but when you add them all up, they can amount to a considerable sum.

"What do we do now?" Okamura Neiji asked, sitting in a chair.

The Independent Brigade cannot be wiped out. Even if it is, Zhou Weiguo and his men will definitely get out alive. He believes that once they get out, the Independent Brigade will be active on the battlefield again in no time, and they will be even more ferocious.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is what will happen to Tokyo. As long as Zhou Weiguo has a breath left, he will definitely take revenge, and this time the revenge will be even more severe than before, because Tani Hisao used the poison gas bomb right in front of him.

"How about we tell Kiyoshi Kazuki?" Yamadajima suggested from the side. There was no other way. If they wanted to preserve the empire, there was only one way: to make the Independent Brigade truly disappear.

Only when they truly disappear will it be the best news for you, both for the people of Tokyo and for yourselves.

The unfair deals they made with Zhou Weiguo will be forgotten because of their downfall.

They remain good people loyal to the empire.

Okamura Neiji was somewhat tempted. He glanced at Nanzo Yunko and asked, "Miss Yunko, what do you think?"

Nanzo Yunzi is Zhou Weiguo's sister-in-law. No matter how you look at it, this can be considered as scheming against his relative. Moreover, the relationship between Nanzo Yunzi and Zhou Weiguo is an indescribable and subtle one.

He couldn't explain this relationship; he simply couldn't see through it.

I?

Nanzo Yunko, who was smoking by the window, was surprised that Okamura Neiji would ask for her opinion. But after a moment's thought, she understood what he meant.

Okamura Yasuji was worried that he would tip off Zhou Weiguo.

They also felt somewhat guilty.

Could she object and suggest not doing it?

No, considering that she dragged Okamura Neiji and the others into this mess, it would be unreasonable for her to object now that these two finally have a chance to break free from Zhou Weiguo's invisible control.

“I have no objection, but before that, we need to clarify one thing. If that can be clarified, I will naturally give it my full support.”
